Aerial Acoustics System 1 Center Channel
Just 8.5" tall and slightly less than 12" deep, the Aerial S1 Center is ideally suited for center channel use in music and home theater systems where excellent sound quality is desired, but interior or system design factors require a compact loudspeaker system built into the environment. It is the perfect center complement to Aerial S1 Columns or Model 9s, and elevates the performance of virtually any multi-channel system. Whether installed in custom cabinetry, placed on its stand beneath a video screen, or mounted into a wall, the S1 Center expresses its dynamic personality, remaining vivid and lifelike regardless of listening level.
Closely related to the acclaimed Aerial Model 9, the S1 Center shares its sibling’s design pedigree. Four longstroke 7.1" woofer drivers provide greater radiating area than that of a 15" driver, but with far superior control, responsiveness and power handling capacity. Twin 6" midrange units combine high resolution with tonal naturalness and low dynamic compression. Aerial’s exclusive 1" titanium dome tweeter supplies remarkably smooth, clear and extended treble response. The compact sealed enclosure is constructed of 1" MDF with extensive internal bracing providing excellent stiffness, low resonance and freedom from cabinet induced coloration. Response is optimized for in-cabinet and near-wall locations and to blend particularly well with subwoofers. And finally, a system efficiency of 92dB makes it possible to drive the S1 Center to high output levels without requiring massive power.
In all, the S1 Center discreetly packages the many performance characteristics recognized as hallmarks of Aerial loudspeaker design: pure, natural and lifelike sound, complemented by seemingly boundless dynamics.
